Visit part of annual John Paul Stevens lecture

Antonin Scalia, an associate justice for the U.S. Supreme Court, will speak on the University of Colorado's Boulder campus on Oct. 1.

Scalia's visit is part of the annual John Paul Stevens lecture hosted by CU's Law School. He will speak at Macky Auditorium at 5:30 p.m. Details about registration are not yet available.

Scalia was appointed to his Supreme Court seat by President Ronald Reagan in 1986. In his more than 30 years on the bench, Scalia has established himself as a conservative justice who advocates for interpreting the Constitution as its authors originally intended.

The lecture series, which is in its fourth year, has brought former Associate Justice John Paul Stevens, Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and former Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to Boulder.

The lecture is designed to bring a distinguished jurist to the law school to talk about judging and the state of the judiciary.
